Movie of the now.
I haven’t seen Disney’s Tarzan since I was a kid but I remember liking it. However since then, I’ve become a major fan of Tarzan but not because of the Disney movie but rather the works by Edgar Rice Burroughs, specifically the comic book adaptations by Joe Kubert. Tarzan is one of my all time favorite characters in all of fiction, tied in second place with Godzilla and he’s my all time favorite literary character if you don’t count comic books as literature.
So because of that, I’ve been hesitant to revisit the movie not just because of how it’s been disneyfied but also how much I love the original book and I’m afraid of the changes and liberties taken with the source material irking me.
However I’ve had a resurgence of my love for Tarzan and have been on a Tarzan kick lately, so now is a good time to check it out.
My girlfriend hasn’t seen it in a while either, so it’s a perfect opportunity for us to revisit it.
I’m looking forward to the songs as “two worlds, one family” was a song I was rocking out to back in the summer of 2023.
So let’s go and watch this movie and see how I feel about it, now being more familiar with the source material.
